Horoscopes

Sally Brompton

Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)
The possibility of failure should not enter your mind this week. You must aim for your highest goal, even if you have to give up something, be it a belief or a relationship. The old must give way to the new.

Gemini (May 22 - Jun 21)
Don't allow romance to detract from more important matters. A new relationship may be exciting but it is unlikely to stand the test of time. Don't give up everything for love.

Cancer (Jun 22 - Jul 23)
You will have to take charge of a messy situation this week, a situation you may not be directly involved in. You're unlikely to get any thanks for it but the point is you did the right thing.

Leo (Jul 24 - Aug 23)
Don't think you cannot influence the outcome of a certain situation. Your ideas carry a lot of weight but they will only have an effect if you are prepared to speak your mind. Tell the world what you think.

Virgo (Aug 24 - Sep 23)
Radical changes are taking place in your life and, with one or two minor exceptions, they will benefit you in a big way. Don't be afraid to adjust your opinion about something you have long taken for granted.

Libra (Sep 24 - Oct 23)
Usually people are drawn to you but this week the situation will be reversed, in that you will find yourself inexplicably drawn to someone who, under normal circumstances, you would not look at twice.

Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)
An emotional confrontation is likely this week but something positive and lasting will emerge from it. There have been far too many awkward silences: it's time all concerned put their feelings into words.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)
It is time to get serious about something you have taken far too lightly in the past. This means you need to develop a plan of action and stick to it for longer than just a few days.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
Don't try to mask your emotions this week: it simply won't work. Friends and strangers will read you like a book. Be honest about your likes and dislikes: they're not as unusual as you seem to think.

Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
You must exploit your potential. Too many people think they are special and expect life to come to them. You, on the other hand, recognise that success is a privilege and one that must be earned.

Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)
The first step in any new venture is always the most difficult. The good news is you'll have a little extra energy this week: use it wisely and that initial step will be easier than you anticipated.

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)
There is much you can do this week to focus your life in a new direction, one that is more in keeping with your natural desires and talents. All it takes is the courage to change things.
